Rounders: Throwing Rounders

Divide your players into two equal teams, one team fields while the other team bats.

The coach bowls the ball (underarm) to the batter who must catch the ball before then underarm throwing the ball into the field, instead of hitting the ball.

If a batter drops the ball they can only run to first base.

In order to get players out the batters can be stumped or caught out.

Split the group into teams of 5. One team throwing the ball around posts.

One team running around the posts.

The ball starts by the batting square and has to be thrown to post one then 2 then 3 then 4 then back to the batting square.

The running team have to run and tag.

The first player in the batting square has to run to tag 1st post player this player has to run to release the player at 2nd post etc until the player on the forth post is tagged and runs back to the batting square.

Start again when ball and players are back in position again.

Best of 5 runs.

Using a set of cricket wickets or posts. Roll the ball along the ground to a team mate. You can run with the ball, but the ball must be rolled along the ground.

Aim to hit the stumps (approach from any side of the square)in the opposition square, using an underarm flick. The square is made up of cones, distance 5-8 metres from the stumps.
No fielders at any time are allowed inside the square. The ball is never out of bounds, as there are no boundaries.

This Drill is fun and will improve the accuracy of the players throwing the ball to a post in rounders.

2 teams lots of tennis balls and a larger ball (football).

The aim is for the players from within their area to try to roll the football to the other side by throwing the tennis balls against it.
